230596 Connecting the Dots: Deconstruction, Feminisms, Queer Theories, And Black Critique (S) (SoSe 2026)

Contents, comment

In this seminar, we will examine the rhetorical architecture of key theoretical perspectives within cultural and literary studies (the structure of their claims, their ensemble of questions, selection of topics, distribution of concerns, etc). We will also consider whether and how these theoretical perspectives intersect, inform and/or respond to each other. Students will be asked to critically engage with the theoretical material by analysing cultural artefacts.
